Sagna and his Manchester City team-mates missed the chance to reduce the three-point gap between themselves and the Gunners last night as they were held 0-0 at home by Everton.

And now City are looking to their former boss Mark Hughes to do them a favour by leading his Stoke side to victory over Arsene Wenger’s men at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday.

Arsenal have bounced back from a November slump to win five of their last seven Premier League matches, although that included a 4-0 thumping at Southampton on Boxing Day.

The Gunners stayed top on goal difference from Leicester despite letting the lead slip late on to draw 3-3 at Liverpool yesterday.

City can move level at the top by beating Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, before Claudio Ranieri’s side visit Aston Villa for a tea-time kick-off and Wenger’s men head to the Potteries.

Arsenal have failed to win on their last five visits to Stoke, losing three times, and Sagna, who played in two of those defeats, reckons City can now catch his former club.

The 32-year-old full-back was happy to see Arsenal drop points at Anfield, saying: “I’m happy, yes, because this season we have the room to take the league, and the room to start winning games again as we did in the first part of the season.

“We have the room to be champions. I don’t want to have any regrets. We have to think about Crystal Palace, and we have to take the three points because it is a home game.

“Arsenal play away to Stoke, maybe they’ll drop points and we can catch them back.

“If they were five points ahead of us, it’d be very difficult to catch them. Liverpool managed to come back and at the end of the day we’re still three points behind.”

Sagna, who spent seven years at the Emirates Stadium before joining City in 2014, added: “We’re still confident. We didn’t win against Everton but we didn’t lose.

"When you can’t win then don’t lose.

“It’s disappointing because we had room to take three points. Tomorrow is another day and we have to analyse why, I’m very confident for the rest of the season.”
